I have admin panel in which I can create categories. When I create categories

  • 0

I have admin panel in which I can create categories. When I create categories I auto create folders in htdocs… for example… categorie/first , categorie/second and so on

And what I want to do, is that when I create these folders I auto create index.php with code I need… First variant is using file functions… but then how do I put in string php commands?
second.. and I guess the right one, is to create this template.. and when I create these folders it copies to directory I created…

So what you think?

edit…
BUT I need to store in this code variable with current categorie opened.

    One solution is to write your code like that :

    // Creates a template of category
$page = <<< EOT

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Category {$category_name}</title>
        (...)

    </body>
</html>
EOT;

$f = fopen($new_directory . "/index.php", 'w');
fwrite($f, $page);
fclose($f);

    Remeber to put EOT; at the very left side of your document. See the heredoc syntax for details.

    This code is a sample, you need of course to check if fopen/fwrite have succeeded.

    Another solution could be to have a template in another file with template tokens.

    In such way, you will have a file named template_category.txt which contains :

    <html>
    <head>
        <title>Category %category_name%</title>
        (...)

    </body>
</html>

    Then, in your PHP script, you’ll do replace template tokens by your values :

    $template = file_get_contents("template_category.txt");

$to_replace = array(
    '%category_name%',
    (...)
);

$replace_by = array(
    $category_name,
    (...)
);

$page = str_replace($to_replace, $replace_by, $template);

    And you write $page on index.php like above.
